Patsy Irene Jennings

Patsy Irene "Pat" Jennings was born on January 4, 1929, and passed away peacefully on December 19, 2025, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the age of 96.

Born in Macomb, Illinois, Pat was raised by her parents and grandparents. She married the love of her life, Joe Jennings, on April 11, 1948, and they shared 58 happy years of marriage until his passing in 2006. As Joe advanced in his career with General Motors, they lived throughout the United States before retiring in Albuquerque, where they found home and community at Tanoan Country Club.

Pat was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. A wonderful homemaker and gifted entertainer, she loved hosting family and friends, traveling, playing bridge, and shopping-earning her the affectionate title of "professional shopper."

In her later years, Pat shared a special friendship with Larry Neely, whose companionship brought her great happiness and peace.

She is survived by her daughters, Michelle Orcutt (Dennis) and Kimberly Duncan (Greg); her daughter-in-law, Susan Jennings; five grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Jennings, and her son, Andrew Glenn Jennings.

Pat will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
